Hi,

Same problem here, I have an HP 1162sf and same acpi ON/OFF function as
you.
I already ask this question but it seams that nobody find a solution
(nobody answers...).

I'm very (very) interested if you find a solution ;)

I'll try your vga switcheroo modification when I have time to see if I
have more luck...

Regards,
